Nope. Clue #3 - A butcher with a secret identity.

"I'm (sadly) the only one of my friends that love classic movies... " Nonsense! All of your friends here love classic movies, too. You just have to come here to hang out with us. Whenever you're feeling down and need a classics movie fix, come on over and holler up someone here. I guarantee someone will be happy to spend an evening reminiscing with you about the good old days. Welcome to the neighborhood. CharlieT

'Fraid not. Clue #2 - A train crash, sorta.

Easy? Just wait till you see how fast this one goes down, Fred. Clue #1- An unplanned pregnancy

The Ghostbreakers?

Asta?

"Dumbo" in "1941" "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "It's a Wonderful Life" in "Gremlins" "A Christmas Carol" (1938) in "Rocky" CharlieT

I'd always heard that Jack Spade was Kate Spade's sister. Was Jack having gender identification issues?

Funny, but when I read the title of this thread, this was the movie that came to my mind. Always thought this was one of the scariest film endings I'd ever seen. CharlieT

A guy a couple of years ahead of me in school bore a striking resemblance to Paul McCartney - still does. In some of his old photos, my dad reminded you of Boris Karloff. A co-worker a few years back looked and sounded a lot like Sam Elliot. In a training excercise that was videotaped at work about 15 years ago, I noticed that I resembled in looks and mannerisms a young Wilford Brimley. Isn't that some kind of an oxymoron - "a young Wilford Brimley?" I don't think he was ever young. Don't forget to eat your Quaker Oatmeal. It's the right thing to do! CharlieT

Postcard from Tampa, FL. "Weather is here. Wish you were beautiful." (Prairie Home Companion Radio Show)

Since you screwed up, does that mean that William Holden didn't say this in "Stalag 17?"

I very rarely disagree with anyone here. If I have a different opinion, I usually keep it to myself, but in this case, Jack, I have to make an exception. I think it is the entire group of March girls in the June Allyson version that makes it memorable. I have seen all 3 versions mentioned here, and this is the only one that I can name all four of the actresses that fill these roles. The other two have me stumped after "Jo" without reminders of the others. I like both of the earlier ones, but haven't watched the newest version enough to fairly compare it to the others. As far as improper accents for foreign roles, it's a common practice. Hollywood must figure that if it's foreign, it doesn't really matter to the audience if it is the correct one. The Frenchman in South Pacific usually is played by an Italian. Not saying you're wrong, Jack... just don't agree with you. CharlieT

Sure, Santa is real, but the fantasy part is when they expect us to believe he can be in New York at dusk on Christmas Eve after the trial ends when we all know he is on the other side of the world passing out presents to all of those good little boys and girls in China and Russia and France... well, maybe not France. And then he's hustling up a house for Natalie Wood when he should be in Hawaii. Give me a break! CharlieT

Whenever I go to the drive-in, I like to go after dark. B-) It's easier to see the movie that way. Seriously, horror films are always better after midnight. :0 CharlieT

Just finished watching "Too Young To Kiss" and remembered that the music was based on or actual works of my favorite composer, Edvard Grieg. His Piano Concerto in A Minor is my favorite classical piece and featured throughout the film. The only movie I've seen with more Grieg in it was his fictional biography, "Song of Norway." "To Kill a Mockingbird" is also a classic for its music, and since it is my favorite movie, I have to give it a nod, too. CharlieT

OK, that Phil Carey. Thanks for the link. Many of us enjoy the Birthday post, but few of us take the time to let you know. We all appreciate the hard work that it takes to keep up with this kind of research. Thanks, Mongo. CharlieT

Although he's no Errol Flynn, Burt Lancaster did an excellent job swashing his buckle in The Crimson Pirate. It was one of those films I always had to watch as a kid whenever it came on TV. CharlieT

Nevermind. Just checked him out on IMDB and he wasn't on the series. I just can't place him. CT

Hey, Mongo. Was Philip Carey also in the TV series "The Naked City" or am I thinking of the wrong person? CharlieT

I'm watching it right now on FMC. It's Young Frankenstein. When I saw it at the movies when it first came out, I was laughing when no one else was. I guess I was seeing the jokes that most people don't see until their third or fourth viewing. CharlieT

Eggs Ackley! Thanks for the help, jdb1. JackBurley answered the majority, but whichever one of you is ready can take it away. CharlieT

That's one down and one to go. The preacher shouldn't be that hard.

A good start. Edna Mae Oliver was from Little Women. What about the dog and itinerant preacher?

OK, I'll give it my usual lame try. Retired teacher and egg farmer marry and set up home with help of a Union officer, a dog and a dowager aunt, while fighting against a savage group led by an itinerant preacher.
